The drug-free solution contains a proprietary extract of botanicals and naturally derived ingredients.

Store A Tooth

Provia Laboratories Store-A-Tooth service enables families to save their own adult stem cells—from baby teeth ready to fall out; teeth pulled for orthodontic reasons; and wisdom teeth being extracted. For those interested in the service, Provia works with the dental team to provide high-quality tooth collection, and arranges for the sample to be sent overnight to the lab, where the stem cells are harvested, tested, and cryopreserved for future potential use.
